Also, it is correctly transcribed and pronounced {Qapla'} (with emphasis on 
the last syllable; Klingon for “success”, “victory”), not ”qapplaH”.

{qap} means “insist” instead, in Klingon transcription there is no doubling 
of consonants (e.g. “Kahless” is just {qeylIS}), and the verb modifier
{-laH} means “be able to”.

So, transcription errors aside, they said “(I am) able to insist” instead, 
which will cause a Klingon to laugh at them (and then kill them for showing 
weakness).
